[verse 1]

i recall a lonely day

a sky so grey, you could not see the sun

for i’d been baited

asphyxiated

the oceans and the tides won’t free me

[prechorus]

i was so lost in the sea

to feel you lying next to me

so close to me

but this is why we’re alive!

[chorus]

this is the way

this is the way

this is the altar, and this is the day

hear what we feel

hear where we’ll be

here where the spires tower over me

[verse 2]

this is the way we live

the way we stand as one

this is the way, believe

that we will see the sun

atop these towers

[prechorus]

i was so lost in deceit

to build my spire next to me

so close to me

but this is why we’re alive!

[chorus]

this is the way

this is the way

this is the altar, and this is the day

hear what we feel

hear where we’ll be

here where the spires tower over me
